What is the difference between headphones and a headset?

Headphones are for listening and have at most a small built-in mic; a headset adds a boom microphone for game chat or calls. If you mainly listen to music or video, headphones; if you talk a lot, a headset.

Over-ear or on-ear — which is more comfortable?

Over-ear is usually more comfortable for long sessions because the cups surround the ear instead of pressing on it, and it isolates better. On-ear is lighter and packs smaller. Try to match cup size to your ears if you can.

How long do wireless headphones last on a charge?

Typically 12–40 hours depending on the model and whether ANC is on. Most charge over USB-C and many can be used wired with a 3.5 mm cable when the battery is flat.

Are kids headphones volume limited?

The kids models on this shelf are designed with safe listening levels (around 85 dB) and a soft adjustable band for smaller heads. Check the product page for the exact limit and whether the model is wired or wireless.

Can I use these headphones for calls?

Yes — Bluetooth headphones here include a built-in microphone for calls and voice assistants. For back-to-back meetings a boom-mic headset is clearer; see Office Headsets.

Do wireless headphones work with a PC?

Yes, over Bluetooth on any laptop or a desktop with a Bluetooth adapter, or with the 3.5 mm cable on models that include one. For gaming with positional audio and a mic, a gaming headset is the better tool.

Will you stock more headphone brands?

The headphones range is growing; this shelf is where new over-ear and on-ear models land as they arrive. If you are after a specific model, contact us and we will check availability.

Headphones 🎧

Headphones sit over or on the ear and are built for listening — music, movies, podcasts and study — rather than game chat. This shelf holds our wireless over-ear and on-ear headphones, including volume-limited models made for kids.

The choices that matter are over-ear versus on-ear, wireless (Bluetooth) versus wired, battery life, whether you want a built-in mic for calls, and for children a safe-volume limit and a durable, adjustable band. Active noise cancelling and foldable designs are the extras.

Evetech currently stocks headphones from Promate, with more brands added as the range grows, all with local warranty and fast delivery across South Africa. For voice chat and positional audio see Gaming Headsets; for pocket-size listening see Earbuds.
